Sustainable Mitigation Strategies for Reducing Carbon Footprint Impact on the Environment: A Case Study
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Carbon foot printing is an essential tool for understanding the environmental impact of human activities, particularly in a rapidly industrializing region like Maharashtra. This paper assesses carbon footprint concepts, methodologies for measurement, and major contributing sectors in Maharashtra. Additionally, it highlights key mitigation strategies, including policy interventions, technological innovations, and sustainable practices. Maharashtra, being one of the most industrialized states in India, has been chosen as a focal region to demonstrate challenges and successful initiatives for reducing carbon footprints. This research also explores household-level emissions using carbon footprint calculators, emphasizing energy, transportation, and waste contributions to overall emissions. By focusing on Maharashtra, the study highlights region-specific challenges and solutions, ultimately contributing to the broader efforts to mitigate climate change
